Keyboards don't suggest chains of reasoning or words to type. When I press the K key, I know exactly what will happen. It's just a translation layer that gives an output known ahead of time and thus does not impinge upon the creativity of putting words together.
A better example would be playing chess against a player slightly stronger than me and using a chess computer to suggest some good moves. I could win, but it certianly wouldn't be just my brain that wins. It would be an amalgamation of my brain with a machine that suggests good moves.
One cannot simply reason by analogy.

- vouaobrasil 1mo agoI was talking about regular old keyboards. But you're just being pedantic.
- pphysch 1mo agoThis is straight up misleading. When you press your K key on a touchscreen, your keyboard program may decide you meant to press the neighboring L key (by dynamically inflating the collision geometry on it) because it was statistically far more likely that you meant to press the L key next. This likely doesn't happen exactly on an analog keyboard, but then many text-processing environments that do the same thing in post. My keyboard just edited 'yuor' to 'your' even though I successfully input the prior string.
